I also prefer the cast wheels. Spoked looked nice, but they are also a PITA to keep clean.

I'm quite surprised that many here say that they prefer mags on the CB1100 over the spokes. Maybe not the majority but I've read it a few times. And the reason about the difficulty of cleaning spokes I find odd. I think dirty spokes on the CB1100 still looks better than clean mags.
Is it confirmed that they are not tubeless? Tire tech today minimizes the risks associated with tube tires of yesteryear.
I wonder how many people would've bought the bike with mags if the option of spokes were available in the USA in 2013/2014 or if the mags were just overlooked because the rest of the bike is just so darn perfect!

I like the looks, durability and low maintenance of the cast wheels. Left spokes many bikes ago, and I don't miss 'em. I definitely get how others could like them, though.

Maggies all the way, love the looks of spokes but dislike cleaning them
Like single exhaust over dual; back in the day, I always switched stock duals to a single Kerker

Obviously quite a few of us care about.... the looks, lol.
My stance on this has been plastered all over this forum.

Right you are, sir. That's why I bought mine!

For utility I like mags, but for looks spokes. Wish there was a button I could push so the bike was in mag mode for riding and switched to spokes mode when stopped. Lol

Cleaning bikes sucks! Much better to be riding.
